    WICKET

    Bess b B Green 9 (Leics v Yorks 144-7)

    Ben Green picks up a third and Yorkshire are in a spot of bother.

    The Foxes bowler keeps sending down a nagging line and induces Dom Bess to chop an inside edge onto his off stump.

    Another momentum killer for the Yorkshire innings.

    Hassan Ali joins George Hill (28).

  2. 150 runs

    150 up for Essex

    Essex 150-8 v Notts

    There is some, not much but some applause as Essex reach 150.

    How many more can they eke out from these final two wickets?

    Notts would dearly like to polish this off swiftly.

  3. Could Alex Green be the next Foxes star?

    Leicestershire v Yorkshire 144-6

    Alex Green celebrates getting his maiden first-class wicket

    Both Rehan Ahmed and Josh Hull have come through the Leicestershire set up of late to go on and represent England.

    There have been whispers among those at Grace Road that there might be a third name coming - that of 19-year-old Alex Green.

    He is so tall, 6ft 5in, and burly and broad, particularly for such a young man. But he has pace, and a bit of magic about him. Alfonso Thomas, the head coach, has already tipped him for international honours - and he has been a regular in the under-19 side.

    On his third first-class match, he finally has a wicket too. Getting Matthew Revis's wicket was his maiden wicket in the four-day game, after three wicketless innings.

    He's backed it up by getting James Wharton's wicket too. He's bowled with real maturity this morning, backing up strong spells of bowling from Ben Green and Josh Davey.

    Yorkshire look a bit all over the place - they have been playing down the wrong line for most of their wickets, and have struggled. They haven't got many wickets left to salvage their innings.

  4. 50 runs

    50 for Cameron Bancroft

    Worcs v Glos 125-2

    Cameron Bancroft pushes one into the offside from Fateh Singh and the single pushes him up to 50.

    His 126-ball knock is providing a real rock for this Gloucestershire effort.

    It's his fifth of the season, but he is yet to turn one into three figures. Can that change today?

  5. Essex 148-8 v Notts

    Shane Snater is now trying to farm the strike for Essex.

    It does not look like he fancies Liam Patterson-White bowling to his batting partner, Charlie Bennett.

    This is pretty grim stuff from the Championship leaders.

    Very good from the defending champions though.

  6. 50 runs

    50 partnership

    Somerset 147-7 v Warks

    Josh Shaw has looked the most fluent of the Somerset batters out there today and nudges a single down the ground to bring up the fifty partnership with Lewis Goldsworthy.

    And boy did Somerset need it after slumping to 97-7 shortly after lunch.

    The 30-year-old has contributed 27 of them.

  7. wicket

    LANCASHIRE ALL OUT FOR 161

    Stanley b Haydon 18 (Derbyshire v Lancashire 161)

    Mitch Stanley goes for an almighty blow but misses and his stumps are disturbed by Rory Haydon.

    An innings that started badly, losing Keaton Jennings in the first over, is all done and dusted inside 40 overs.

    Jimmy Anderson ends unbeaten on 10, but there was precious little to smile about with that Red Rose effort.

    Mohammad Abbas and Anuj Dal walk off with identical figures of 3-49.

  8. rain stops play

    Rain stops play

    Durham v Northants 163-0

    Off they go at Chester-le-Street as the light has got progressively worse and now there is some light drizzle as well.

    You wonder whether Ricardo Vasconcelos (88*) and Luke Procter (56*) might fancy staying on!

  9. 6 runs

    Essex 142-8 v Notts

    A bit of resistance from Essex as Shane Snater leans back and hoists Liam Patterson-White over the long-on rope.

    A rare bright moment for the home side on what has been a poor day with the willow so far.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Miles Hammond

    Worcs v Glos 119-2

    Miles Hammond has had the physio on but he is able to cut the slow left-armer Fateh Singh through cover for four and that takes him to a nice 50.

    It's an eighth four and it has come off 105 ball as he and Cameron Bancroft enjoy the New Road sun.

  11. 50 runs

    50 for Lewis Goldsworthy

    Somerset 144-7 v Warks

    Lewis Goldsworthy plays a shot for SomersetGetty Images

    It's been a real grind out there, but Lewis Goldsworthy has brought up his seventh career first-class fifty.

    The 25-year-old brings up the landmark with a cut to cover, off Manav Suthar. The fifty comes from a patient 137 balls.

    It's the first time he's raised his bat since hitting a ton against Essex last September.

  12. wicket

    WICKET

    Potgieter c Haines b Carson 1 (Sussex v Hants 113-6)

    Another for Sussex!

    Delano Potieter taken at slip.

    Some turn for Jack Carson away from the left-handed who follows it and almost guides it to Tom Haines.

  13. Durham v Northants 161-0

    Ben Stokes is bowling at a decent lick.

    Into his ninth over now he gets one to rear-up at Luke Procter who does well to keep it down before following that with a bouncer which the Northants skipper evades.

    The light is getting worse...

  14. Derbyshire v Lancashire 161-9

    Jimmy Anderson tucks one away down to the fine leg fence for four off Mohammad Abbas.

    And Sir James then unfurls the shot of the day as he drives Abbas past mid-off for another boundary.

    Millionaire's cricket, right there!

  15. Leics v Yorks 139-6

    Dom Bess looks to make hay while the sun shines as he gets off the mark with a first-ball four off Alex Green.

    The intent continues as he makes it two boundaries off as many balls.

  16. wicket

    WICKET

    Brown b Price 0 (Sussex v Hants 105-5)

    Another for Tom Price two balls later!

    And what a beauty. Angles in, seams away, beats the outside edge of Ben Brown and clatters into off-stump.

    Superb delivery and Hampshire are now rocking.

  17. wicket

    WICKET

    Gubbins c Simpson b Price 52 (Sussex v Hants 105-4)

    Nick Gubbins gets to fifty in 94 balls with a dropped single into midwicket.

    But then goes to flick Tom Price to leg and a huge top edge is taken by John Simpson!

    Big blow.

  18. Essex 134-8 v Notts

    Essex, the current Division One leaders have lost five wickets since lunch for 41 runs.

    Notts, the defending champions are giving the home side a tough examination of their title credentials.

    Essex won the toss and chose to bat remember.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Wharton c Cox b A Green 56 (Leics v Yorks 131-6)

    Alex Green makes the breakthrough after lunch.

    The Leicestershire bowler gets a little extra pace and bounce off the pitch and catches the edge as James Wharton looks to punch off the backfoot.

    Ben Cox does the rest behind the timbers and Wharton's 109-ball vigil is done.

    A 42-run stand is broken as Dom Bess joins George Hill (24).

    As I look at the Warwickshire red ball team and compare it with the all-conquering team of 1994 there is a parallel. Both teams are full of all-rounders (Reeve, 2 Smiths, Twose and Brown vs Webster, Barnard, Woakes, Thompson). Sadly much though I like Mousley he isn’t Brian Lara!
